    Los Angeles water fix & California dry lakes - Image 1

    Description

    This mod fixes the unrealistic amount of water in the Los Angeles area and dry lakes that contained unrealistic amounts of water in California, Arizona and Nevada. For some reasons a lot of huge reservoirs, flood control basins, dry lakes etc. that is empty of water for most of the time was all filled to capacity in MSFS. This mod increases the realism by matching the water bodies and water levels to what is actually reflected on the underlying sattelite imagery. The mod simply contains water exclusion polygons and also some building exclusions to clean up errouneously generated autogen buildings.

    This is a current list of the largest terrain features that has been corrected:

    Los Angeles Area

    • Prado Reservoir
    • Santa Clara river & Castaic Creek
    • Los Angeles river
    • San Gabriel river
    • Santa Fe dam area
    • Many small flood control basins, reservoirs etc.

    Dry Lakes

    • Willcox Playa
    • Lordsburg Playa
    • Rogers Lake
    • Mormon Lake
    • Dry lakes around Edwards AFB
    • Owens lake corrections
    • Many other small dry lakes, ponds and river beds
    The mod does in no way intend to cover all possible errors with water placement. However please comment any places that needs correcting and I will try to add it to a later update.

    To install simply copy the extracted folder to your community folder.

    What is _MACOSX folder about? It looks like something related to MAC OS.
    Do I need to install that, too?
    Why did you include that if it's not necessary?

    Aha, that’s because I was travelling so I transfered the project to my laptop and uploaded it from there. Mac OS creates these folders, which are hidden, so I didn’t realise it. It will not harm your PC but you can just delete it. Will remove it in the next version

    Thank you for your clarification.
    MSFS_Addonlinker didn't recognize the whole addon folder when I installed the MAC OS folder.

    This was a nice surprise. I've been dismayed at several lakes throughout the region that I know should be dry and were massively filled with water. Figured it'd just have to be tolerated. If one knows the region well, it's a real immersion breaker. Thanks so much for the effort and the sharing. Have subscribed to the file so will know if you add more!

    Beautiful, thank you for this. If you ever feel the urge, please do the Las Vegas valley. Green grass and lakes are just out of place in Vegas.
